French school, ca. 1800. Following models of JEAN SIMEON CHARDIN (Paris, 1699-1779)."Still lifes."Pair of oils on canvas.Measurements: 40 x 31 cm; 49 x 40 cm (frame) and 40 x 31 cm; 49 x 40 cm (frame).We are in front of a pair of oil paintings on canvas that, by their execution and morphology, are related to the models of Jean Simeon Chardin, one of the most important French painters of the 18th century, known especially for his still lifes and portraits. These are two sober still lifes, determined by the quality of the elements, perfectly defined on the neutral backgrounds. Formally, the illusionist taste of the composition also stands out, with elements that protrude outside the table, typical trompe l'oeil inherited from baroque aesthetic precepts.
